Sound of Music, Austria

However, after a few days of cycling, you will reach the mountains which means the lakes now turn into a beautiful blue/green in colour. This provides you with some amazing scenery. This is the famous Sound of Music country that you get to experience. Salzburg is also the home of Mozart. This region is certainly stunning and very peaceful and will give you the mountain views you are looking for.
